The Feingold Elimination Diet

THE FEINGOLD ELIMINATION DIET
Dr. Feingold as an allergist discovered that certain compounds in foods, natural or synthetic, caused an immunological response rather than an allergic reaction.

One of the main components with the “trigger” foods is salicylates. Known most commonly in aspirin, salicylates are also in many foods such as certain fruits, artificial flavors, preservatives, and food dyes. Many of the FDA “approved” dyes also contain lead, mercury, arsenic and other harmful toxins. These toxins attack blood cells, the nervous system, and the mitochondria, (the cell’s energy center).

It is important to add only one food back into the diet at a time. Isolating the culprit or culprits is the key.
